2014-11-22-Day3: Cu Chi Tunnels

We took a boat ride up the Saigon river today, which in itself was fun.



 
 
That took us up to the Cu Chi tunnels, a huge network of tunnels used during the Vietnam war. They are now a historic site, with exhibits on the tunnels, their engineering, traps against enemies, etc. Tour starts off with the viewing of an anti-American propaganda flick.

One of the examples of the nasty traps that were laid for American soldiers.

In the evening I went for a beer with Jon Gilkison, a friend-of-a-friend expat who's been here a couple years.
